Cautionary Tale
Location
Words that are for the wisdom we choose to seek
Predators circle its prey until its last breath
Dictators watch as it its it solemn flesh
Stuck in one’s mind of the already decided
Choices that are not from our own desire
Stroked on the head by a caring heart
Soon of granted to be taken
Words cannot help you now
You are weak like a foal’s first step
Yet rich in bounty as a king who has never been fought
As the world breaks you down to your core
You find solace in an unworthy place
Warnings of its disgrace in its path
Empty handed you leave on to the next
Only to find the treasure you had passed by long ago
The place of no outer light, was the brightest star of them all
Too far have you trotted for any return
The gold has been capture, jewelry been worn
It clutches tight to another’s arm
If only my caution was heard
